When does the train pass through the railway market in Bangkok (schedule)?

Trains pass through the famous Mae Klong railway market in Bangkok four times a day on a strict schedule. To see vendors quickly clear their goods from the tracks and the train literally pass through the market stalls, you need to arrive during one of these time windows.

Exact schedule of trains passing through Mae Klong market

Here is when the train arrives at Mae Klong station (and thus passes through the market) and departs back:

The market itself is open from 08:00 to 18:00, so it's best to plan your visit for one of the daytime arrivals or departures. Note: the train moves very slowly as it approaches the terminal station, but there are always many tourists, so you'll have to compete for a good photo spot.

How to get to Mae Klong market and not be late

There are two ways to reach the market:

• By train with a transfer: Take a train from Wongwian Yai station in Bangkok to Maha Chai village (10 baht, 1 hour). There, take a ferry (3 baht), then at Ban Laem station take a train to Mae Klong (another 10 baht, 1 hour). The schedules are coordinated so you can catch the train passing through.
• By bus or minivan: From Sai Tai Mai southern bus terminal, minivans run every 30 minutes (about 100 baht). They arrive directly at the market, so you can come early and calmly wait for one of the four train passages.

We have detailed how to plan your trip and avoid confusion with transfers in our reliable and honest guide in the article Railway market in Mae Klong village in Bangkok. There you will find the full schedule of all trains from Bangkok to the market and a map to ensure you don't get lost.
